I was thinking it might be the modulator valve, but automatic trannys have always been alchemy to me. I have never been able to understand them.
I might have acess to a hoist so I can do this right..I hate laying on the ground under the car. Getting too old for that.
In servicing toe power steering, should the filter in there be replaced too, and should it be filled to the top of the filter?
Regular Dextron or any of the Dextron 2s or any of that?
